JULY 31, 1984
WORK SESSION
Present: Superv.isor Francis J. Murphy, Councilman Joseph L. Townsend, Jrt,
Justice Raymond W. Edwards (11:00~A.M.), Councilman Paul Stoutenburgh, Council-
man James A. Schondebare, Councilwoman Jean W. Cochran, Town Clerk Judith T.
Terry, Town Attorney Robert W. Tasker, Superintendent of Highways Raymond C.
Dean.
10:10 A.M. ; Tow~n Trustee Frank Kujawski, Jr. met with the Board to discuss the
possible employment of Vernon Wermelinger as a part-time Bay Constable for the
Mattituck Creek. Mr. Wermelingerf a former Nassau County Police Officer, would
be paid by the hour through September 10th and supply his own boat, motor, etc.
The Board is very much in favor of the proposal (resolution No. 11) and feels~this
has been needed for a long time.
10:20 'A.M. - Town Trustee John Bredemeyer, Jr. met with the Board to discuss a
proposed Local Law requiring the use of measured ba~ls for commercial scallopers.
He suggested that the Trustees purchase and distribute the bags at cost. Through
his contacts with the Baymen's Association he has found total support for such a
program, as well as that of the Bay Constable, since the bags being used at the
present time vary in' size and must be dumped into bushel containers to verifry the
amount, and many are oversize. Mr. Roy Park, former attorney for the Easthampton
Trustees, who was in the audience, said that this program has been going on in
Easthampton and when it was set up the Trustees sold the bags and it worked very
well. After discussion concerning who would sell the bags, Trustee BredemeYer said
he favors the Trustees selling them, just as the Local Law is proposed, and the
Board agreed. Resolutio~ No. 28 was put on the agenda for a public hearing on
this local law on August 28th.
11:00 A.M. - Planning Board. Chairman Bennett Orlowski, Jr., Board of Appeals
member Charles Gri~onis, Jr., Planner David Emilita, and Executive Administrator
Victor Lessard met with the Board to di.scuss Mr. Emilita's draft of p.roposed regula-
tions for the creat~' 6~f'ac~e~6~/' ~p~r~m'~n~ in' ~x'i~i'n~lw'~lii~i~.' The Planning
Board feels this matter should be addressed separately by a study and not hold up
the Master Plan revision.. Mr. Grigonis stated this subject has been addressed for
the past twenty-five years but has never been resolved between the various
boards due to the complications which arise during discussion and agreement
could not be reached on its implementation. It was agreed that the homes should
be owner-occupied and should conform to all applicable laws. Various suggestions
were posed - which zoning districts would permit this, should there be a yearly
renewal permit, should the permit be rescinded if the owner dies and the property
changes hands, perhaps limiting the conversions to houses built before 1940-. Because
of the questions that must be resolved this matter was referred to the Zoning, Code,
Master Plan Committee for study and final recommendations.
11:30 A.M. - Frank Bear, Chairman of the Southold Town Water Advisory Committee
met with the Board to report on the progress of the Water Advisory Committee relative,~
to possible funding for a water treatment program. They met with two EPA repre-
sentatives recognized the unique and pioneering role the Town could pay in helping
to find ways to solve water contamination problems nationwide They suggested the
use of federal super-fund monies which are available for emergency situations: and
Southold's water problems seem to fit such an emergency definition. Mr. Bear asked
for the Board's approval to seek proposals from engineering firms regarding the
preparation O.f applications for possible grants from the EPA. (Resolution No; 41 Was
placed on the agenda to meet,this request.)~-Mr. Bear said he attended a meeting at
the Cooperative Extension relative to household toxic chemical clean-up--lslip Town
has a pilot project. He offered to investigate this further with Southold Town in mind
and report back to the Board at their next meeting.--While Mr. Bear was present the
Supervisor handed out copies of an information sheet relative to the Captain Kidd
JULY 31, 1984 ~A~'
over--
Water District proposal informational meeting, Councilwoman Cochran and Councilman
Schondebare viewed the informat.on sheet as~ biased toward the formation of a district,
which should not be determined by the Board, and object to the Water Advisory Comm-
ittee preparing the sheet and submitting it to the Captain Kidd community without first
presenting it to the Board members for approval.
11:55 ................ A.M. - The Board reviewed off agenda items: Supervisor Murphy reported that
he had contacted the SUffolk County Department of Public Works to review the K~eys
Beach and Goldsmith's Jetty matter. Commissioner Cass, as well as retired former
Commissioner Kammerer advised the Town not to touch the jetty, especially during
pending litigation. Furthermore, former Commissioner Kammerer said that shortening
the jetty, in his opinion, would have no effect on putting the sand back on the beaches,
and the only solution would possibly be Iow profile groins, but this would require study.
The Briscoe Smith relief petition was reviewed and resolution No. 32 was placed
on the agenda concerning same.
12:20 P.M. - Recess for lunch.
1:55 P.M. - Work Session reconvened.and the Board reviewed the following off-
agenda items: Handicapped non-discrimination regulations; Suffolk County Local
Law to Limit Smoking; proposed Scavenger Waste Pretreatment Facility Ordinance;
Edward J. Nalbantian and Charles A. Nalbantian relief petition (resolution No. 34);
expiration of Letter of Credit for major subdivision of Hillcrest, which may be
extended by the Planning Board; Communications 111-5(a) and (b) on the agenda
relative to the issuance of a building permit to Gus Wade and the objections of
the Fleet's Neck Property Owners Association to same. The Board reviewed the
file concerning prior questions in this matter, and will look to the Building Depart-
ment for an answer so they may respond itO the Fleet's Neck letters.

I. REPORTS.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Moving on to the prepared agenda, the first Item is
Reports. These reports are all on file with the Town Clerk.
1. This is probably one of the best news that we've heard in a long time,
that there might be possibilities, and I say might, but it's better than before
when there was absolutely none, for grants for aid for water districts, special
districts in the Town. The Town is actively pursuing this and thanks to our
Water Advisory Committee we've come this far.
2. Councilmen's reports. The first one on my right, Jay?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: We had a Police Committee meeting, which basically
was talking about negotiations with the PBA, it's contract time. I won't' get into
that, but basically we want to let everyone know that it's up again and we're trying
to negotiate. We then had a Landfill Committee meetin9 on Tuesday morning at
8:00 o'clock with regards to revision of the fees and we haven't quite finalized the
whole thing but I think we're on our way. We then had a Highway Committee meetin9
and some of the things we brought out as a result of a meeting that we had with the
Planning Board with regards to roads in subdivisions. We!re making some changes
with regards to those areas. Street Light Committee had a meeting, which consists
of me. I had a meeting. I'm the whole Street Light Committee, I'm it, so i had a
meeting, but I had a meeting with Ray Dean and it wa's about three requests for
street lights at different areas in the Town and they've been taken into consideration
and perhaps at the next Town Board meeting we'll act on those requests. We had a
SEQR Seminar for the Town Board members and actually I was very impressed. You
expect the local officials to all show up; it was like 7:30 on a Friday night. We were
there, but it was nice to see that the appointed officals to the Planning Board and
those other areas, Zoning Boards, also was there, they all showed up and we're all
trying to learn the SEQR process so everyone in the Town functions, knows what
we're doing and we're acting in coordination. And then we had another meeting, we
had a Recreation Meetin9 this morning and 1'11 let Chairman Jean Cochran mention
that. So it's been a rather busy little two weeks.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Joe?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Well, I went to most the same meetings that Jay went to
and so I won't report anything specific until it becomes appropriate to talk about
the revisions we're going to make in our Landfill permits, which are, I think, a step
in the right direction in improving that particular resolution. Went to the Highway
Committee meeting. We were talking about some rather significant changes to procedures
regarding bonding and basically securing these highway improvements. What to do
with abandoned subdivisions, or apparent abandoned subdivisions. Things that will
probably make a lot of waves, but have to be done shortly. At the last Town Board
meeting we heard a report from James Bitses on the feasibility of Southold forming
its own Electric Utility. At that point, after reading the report, and listening to
his request for fifteen to twenty thousand dollars for a feasibility study, I told the
Board that I would do a little further research. I have some familiarity with PASNY
and Niagra-Mohawk project and Canadian hydro-power because of my former work
with the Village of Greenport. I have not had a chance to give that report to the
Town Board, but the bottom line is that ! do not feel, at this point, prospects are
good enough to warrant expenditure of fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. The
prospects at getting either PASNY Niagra-Mohawk power or Canadian hydro-power.
i won't go into detail now, but I will say that it wouldn't be until at least. 1989 until
we would have the transmission capabilities there. They're talking about Marcy-South
being completed in '87 and then the cables across the Long Island Sound in '89.
Along with that there is litigation now which might negate any hope of getiing a
significant of hydro-power such as the Village of Greenport is getting ~ow from
PASNY. A lot of questions and I don't think at this point we should go ahead
with a feasibility ,study until some of these questions have been answered. That's
alii have.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Joseph. Paul?

JULY 31, 1984
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Well ! also attended those same meetings. The
Highway, SEQR, and sat in with the Recreation Committee and we'll leave that for
later, but I did have a very, ! think, encouraging meeting as the Waterways
Committee in the sense that we interviewed someone for a Special Bay Constable
in Mattituck Creek. This is long overdue and something I think we're going to be
acting upon in the very near future. What we hope to do. is have a part-time
person and this, by the way, is a. retired policeman who is going to probably spend
two to three hours a day on patrol at various times, with no set schedule, sometimes
late in the afternoon, sometimes early in the morning, sometimes on Saturday, some-
times on Sunday, so that there is no set_ scheduled and hopefully we'll cut down the
problems of speeding, water skiing and things like that that have been going on in
the creek that people have been complaining about. Probably that's our most heavily
used creek and as a perfect example, I sat on my brother-in-law's porch the other
day and a boat went, I think literally, fifty miles an hour wide open right up the
creek and there was no one there to stop them. It's just a shame people are taking
advantage. There are signs all over but people are just taking advantage. I hope
we'll be able to overcome that, and the person we'll be talking about ,later in the
meeting, we're going to hire.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Paul. Jean?
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Yes, after attending Landfill, Highway, Water Advisory,
and the gentlemen down the line have reported on it, I'm glad they left me my
Recreation. Actually the Recreation Committee did meet this morning. That ~does
consist of Paul Stoutenburgh and Jay Schondebare. Jim McMahon did sit in with '-
us and the purpose of the meeting this morning was to begin to develop a feasible
budget for the 1985 Budget as it's developed. The areas that will be covered as
far as a Town-wide Recreation Program is concerned is the youth program, the
adult programs and the senior programs. And the adult program is as it says, fits
between the youth and the seniors. In addition I feel it's very important t'hat we
do have playground programs which would service children from five to twelve years.
So at this point we are working to create a budget, which will be a part of the
budget as it's developed by Supervisor Murphy for the Board to look at. Also i'm
meeting with a young lady from Fishers Island, so we will also have input from
Fishers Island as far as their recreational needs and what programs they now have
in place. On last Thursday I meet with Eileen Kramers, and you've heard me mention
this name before I sure. She's the Suffolk County Coordinator for the Safety Belt
Program. I'm presently wading through tons of materials that she has given me and
in time for the next Board meeting I expect to have a action plan for Southold Town
completely developed which will be presented to the Board for their information and
acknowledgment. It's interesting to note that the national average uses of seat belts
is thirteen percent, and Southold Town falls below that with 11.3 percent as far as
usage of seat belts. The law takes effect, I believe, December 1st, and they will
begin to enforce it January Ist, so it would behoove us to begin this program as
soon as possible so that it gives us time to begin to have people change their driving
habits by buckling up. Thank you, Frank.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jean. Judge Edwards?
JUSTICE EDWARDS: Fishers Island is very active this time of year. I think my
monthly Justice Report will show thatw especially for 'the month of July. People
on the Island are looking forward to the annual meeting of the Town Board over
there on the 8th of August and also something else that's quite important is the
Civic Association has a girl working on a Master Plan for Fishers Island and inas-
much as RPPW, the people that are doing the Master Plan for the Town of Southold,
has neglected us in a way, we're hoping that RPPW and the Town will hold off the
Master Plan of. Fishers Island until the facts and figures get in from the Civic
Association. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Ray. As you could see the Town Board has
been extremely busy. I would just like to add a couple other things. I flew over
to Fishers Island with Harold Berger,-the Regional Director of DEC to help them
solve their landfill problem and also the Town Attorney flew over last week on their
landfill problems and on their new sewer district that we're forming and the Town
Clerk and my secretaries can attest to the closeness of it. We did manage, and
thank heavens we were all able to work together, to get the grant application in
for Fishers Island, to help the consulting engineer from Connecticutw who was doing
this work and who couldn't do it all, that we were able to get the grant application
in and hopefully it's being approved by DEC and we will have another plant over
there to help these people on Fishers Island to clear up their water and sewage
problems.

any time period and he'll go along with the Planning Board as lead agency.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: What's this now?
COUNCILMAN SCHONDEBARE: Okay, don't forget, this is revoking our thing
for lead agency and we're going to let the Planning Board follow through as lead
agency, but we also have the problem with the time sequence from the time you
submit your environmental assessment for to the time you declare yourself lead
agency. You can't sit on it forever. So our question was what happens if we
revoke this and then the fellow says, "Hey the time period is over and i'm not
going to allow anybody to do anything thing." The attorney, Parker, he made
a representation that he'll go ;to the Planning Board and allow them to declare
lead agency.

very long agenda for today. ! appreciate the patience of everybody here. At this
time I'd like to ask any members of the Town Board if they would like to have any-
thing further to say. Jay? (No.) Joe? (No.) Paul? (No.) Jean? (No.) ---
JAMES CRON, ESQ.: Mr. Supervisor---
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: One.second, would you please? I will get to you.
JAMES CRON, ESQ.: Three hour~s is~a long second---
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: We will get to you. I'm asking the Board if they have
any comments. We're not closing the meeting.
MR. CRON: That's what ! thought you were doing.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: No, I was not doing that. Ray? (No comment.) Okay.
At this time I would like to ask anyone in the audience-if they would like to have
anything to say to the Town Board?
MR. CRON: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. May name is James Cron with
the law office of Cron and Cron, Main Road, Cutchogue. We represent Mr. Gus
Wade who has had previous litigation with the Town of Southold as regards Board
of Trustees' decision and appearances before that Board. Our representation is
also involved in Article 78 proceeding to the Supreme Court which agreed with
out position and remanded it for findings O'f fact. Mr. and Mrs. 'Wade are here
today in direct response to a letter which ! believe--two letters which were hand
delivered both to the Town Board and the Town Trustees. In particular I would
like to draw your attention to the letter solely to the Town Board, which I believe
you had as ,lll-5(a). There are a number of inaccuracies in this particular letter,
whic~h I feel this Board must be made aware of. in particular I point to the second
para~lraph which states that all of the court litigation has been concluded. Quite
the contrary ladies and gentlemen, the court litigation in many respects has just
started. We had the matter remanded to the Town Trustees for determination and
findings of act as the Supreme Court found that they were completely devoid in
their decision that is, of any factual basis. Secondly, I would draw your attention
to the second sentence in that paragraph. It states, "It appears that without
notice to interested parties and with no apparent or documented change, the permit
was applied for," that is the building permit which is the subject matter of this
letter, "..for on June 19th, 1984, and issued on the date immediately following."
Ladies and gentlemen there is no provision either in the Town Code of the Town
of Southold or any New York State provision ~regarding the .Uniform Fire Prevention
and Building Code which requires that notice be given to the entire world for a
building permit. Thirdly and as regards the third paragraph where request is
made of this Board to justify the actions of the Building Department in the Town
of Southold. As I'm sure y.ou're aware that would be beyond the purview and the
legal authorization of this Board. This Board has no obligation to honor that
request as to why the building permit was issued. As a matter of fact if the
Board were to interject itself into that matter~ ! Would have to assume, having
358
JULY 31, lS84
read the Code, that it would do so without a legal basis. Finally, as regards to
this particular letter, ladies and gentl'emen, what is at stake here is a perceived
private wrong which this group of individuals is asking the Town Board in the
Town of Southold to interject itself into. I am sure the Board is aware that it
has an obligation to all the residents of the Town of Southold and not just the
loudest. That obligation extends to keeping the Town of Southold out of protracted
litigation which would, of course, as far as higher taxes were concerned. Further-
more, ladies and gentlemen, there is a private redress which is available to these
particular individuals in the Supreme Court, which Mr. Tasker, I'm sure, is well
aware of and Mr. Schondebare as he does litigate. Finally, the preceden~ with
this letter would establish. Is the Town Board of the Town of Southo~d now going'
to review every building permit? ! think the obvious implications of any action on
behalf of this Board... (end of tape) .... I would direct your attention to the second
letter written to the Town Board dated July 27th, 1984 and written :to both' the Town
Board and the Town Trustees. -In this particular letter, it is my understanding
that the Fleets Neck Property Owner's Association is asking for a deed in fee of an
area which would involve Mr. Wade's easement, or in the alternative, an exclusive
easement. On behalf of my. clients I would now formally make the same application
to this Board that we want an exclusive easement which we feel, or the Supreme
Court will grant us anyway, and we wish to purchase it in fee, or be given the
opportunity to do so. In conclusion ladies and gentlemen, I think these letters
are wildly inappropriate. I do not think they are properly in the purview of this
Board's legally authorized mandate. Thank you.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, Jim. Is there anyone else in the room would
like to speak.
MR. GUSTAVE WADE, Huntington, Long Island: I would like to know if there are
any future communications in regards to my matter that I could be aware of tl~at.
I do live in Huntington and I have to make arrangements to be here at a Town Board
meeting or at any type of meeting to represent myself and I would appreciate in the
future some consideration as to knowledge of public hearing or any type of a meeting
that will be taking place between the Town Board and Fleets Neck Property Owner's
Association and my property. Thank you.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Gus, did you infer that you weren't notified because
of these letter?
MR. WADE: No, I'm just asking that in the future that I be notified.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Oh, okay, I just didn't you to think that--?
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any public hearing or anything on that Gus,. you certainly
would be notified. You don't have to worry about that.
MR. WADE: Thank you, members.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Is there anyone else in the audience? Sir.
MR. BILL NICOL, President, Fleets Neck Property Owner's Association: There is
a letter from a Mr. Dempsey asking that maintenance dredging be done at Stillwater
Avenue. It was dredged a number of years ago, I think back about about '1966 or
1967. The Association would like to go on record as supporting that application to
maintenance dredge that area.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Thank you, we did get the petition.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Could I ask you a question, Bill. Do you have a
place where you would put this spoil?
MR. NICOL: No, we'd like to discuss that. We have some possible alternatives.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: Because that is the key to any dredging and I
might add it was never dredged from the main channel over to the dug-out area.
MR. NICOL: Right. They would just like to keep the basin clear because it's
building up there.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH:
MR. NlCOL: Yes, they are.
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH:
SUPERVISOR MURPHY:
audience ?
Are they acknowledging that is Town waters?
Okay.
Are there any other, comments from anyone in th~
COUNCILMAN STOUTENBURGH: That's a very important point and you should get
that to the Trustees that that is Town waters. Because that was dug out and
somebody's giving up the right to that bottom-land. Okay?
MR. NICOL: Yes.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Anyone else? (No response.) If not at this time I would
like a motion to close this meeting, rather lengthy one.
Moved by Councilman Schondebare, seconded by Councilman Stoutenburgh, it was
RESOLVED that this Town Board meeting be and hereby is adjourned at 6:20 P~M.
Vote of the Town Board: Ayes: Councilwoman Cochran, Councilman Schondebare,
Councilman Stoutenburgh, Justice Edwards, Councilman Townsend, Supervisor Murphy.
